First Week of School!

I can hardly believe that my first week of teaching grade one is over. It consisted of introducing rules, routines and getting to know eachother AND squeezing in a few meaningful lessons. Actually, its been great. They are good listeners and respond to what I'm teaching, so that's encouraging.
Teaching in a christian school is a huge blessing from God. Throughout the day we reflect on what God wants us to do and starting with devotions sets the tone for the rest of the day.
My cup runneth over. Thank you FATHER.

When I got home Friday after school I literally passed out on the couch from exhaustion. My mind has been in overdrive for weeks now, preparing lessons and the nerves of it all, so it feels great to have the initial jetters over with. I absolutely love getting to know my students and their parents.

Kim, Cheryl and I celebrated the end of first week of school with a pizza and a good movie called, "They were watching God" (I recommend it, it was good).

Now it's Saturday and I'm looking forward to having time to work at a slightly calmer pace and tomorrow, worshiping and resting with my family and friends.
